I once wrote an essay called The Throwaway People about me and my mother. I tore it up years ago but my point was that in our society, old people and people who are labeled mentally ill are throwaways. People feel they can dismiss us because we are damaged.

I can’t say much more than that.

Thanks, i had many uplifting moments reading through the quotes you’ve collected (:
